Susan Miller's full Libra horoscope for May 2017

This is a happy month, as you will make important financial decisions this month, and once you have your finances set in place you can expect more enjoyable activities. Traveling seems to be at the top of your wish list. May was far more productive than March and April—both of which were, in many ways, the toughest months of the year (especially April). Your ruling planet Venus has been retrograde from March 5 to April 15, and Venus' retrograde motion has hindered your progress because Venus rules Libra. A weak Venus brings endless delays, reversals, twists and turns, and problems.

When Venus is retrograde, she reserves her greatest powers - powers that you normally take for granted because they are constantly flowing to you. You may have noticed from the beginning of March that progress in some areas of your life began to slow down or even ceased to exist. This month Venus will need time to gradually regain her strength, just like a person waking up from a long sleep. Venus needs to drink some coffee and take a moment to check her email to see what the universe needs her to prioritize. Venus won't be back to full strength and vigor until May 18, but you don't have to wait until then to take action. By the time of the full moon, Venus will be in pretty good shape. You will like May much more than April, don't doubt it.

Mercury, which has been retrograde since April 19, has also contributed to your misery, but now there is better news: Mercury will resume direct motion on May 3. When a planet goes from retrograde to direct, it always takes some time to regain stability. Mercury brings up those issues that need to be dealt with. This is a period of mistakes that have to be corrected, clients changing their minds about the direction of the project, weird technical problems, and it is not a good time to sign contracts. Mercury will resume its direct motion on May 3, but will not be back to full strength until May 20. If you're in a hurry, you also don't have to wait until Mercury returns to full strength on May 20 to take action. May is a much better month, I promise! In fact, generally speaking, the most difficult months in 2017 were March and April.

Financial management is a strongly emphasized theme this month. On April 26, there is a new moon in Taurus, 5 degrees, and Taurus is your eighth house of other people's money. The new moon may bring news of rejection, or you may need to ask a bank or venture capitalist to increase funding so that you can purchase a large piece of real estate or get the funds you need to start a business or maintain business growth. New moons are usually pleasant, but in fact, your ruling planet Venus is at odds with Saturn during this new moon. Saturn rules your house of real estate, and it forces you to be realistic about problems that arise. Venus rules your desires and also rules the eighth house in your chart, which is related to other people's money. As May begins, you may still be smoothing over the minor setbacks that occurred in late April.

The money issues that have been on your mind will end within four days of the full moon on May 10 in Scorpio, 20 degrees. This is a great time of the month, and there may be something worth celebrating. This full moon is full of sweetness and light, and will receive shining silver light from Neptune, the planet of creativity. If a financial transaction you focus on in early to mid-May leads to an innovative idea, or a real estate situation meets the needs of a creative person, you can benefit doubly. This full moon will also send beautiful rays of light to Pluto, which means that if you need to renovate or rebuild your apartment, office, or house, your plans will be successful. Pluto symbolizes the phoenix rising from the ashes, and it also protects the foundations of a house or other property, as well as all underground rooms - basements. If you want to redesign these areas, now is the time. If you need to repair cracks in your house's foundation, now is the time to do it. If you want to build a wall or tear it down, find someone to start the work now.

Speaking of property, you are also in another type of golden resonance, which I should have mentioned. Saturn rules your home, property, and real estate, and it will be in perfect angle to Uranus in your partnership sector, the planet of sudden breakthroughs. The partner you think of in this regard may actually be a business partner or an emotional partner. (For many Libras, their romantic partner is their marriage partner.) You will have good luck through your partner, and the actions you take in 2017 will help build long-term financial security and financial growth. Saturn and Uranus will be in perfect sync on May 18 and again on November 11, but these two planets move slowly, so they will remain in close and significant alignment throughout the year. After the two planets finally go their separate ways, their next reunion in a similar situation will not be until 2047. You are really in a lucky period with financial matters, or your parents will bring you good luck.
